[0115] First Kiss
 

[0115] First Kiss

The correct title of this strip is “First Kiss?” with a question mark at the end which cannot be displayed for technical reasons. (The title is derived from the filename.)

I tend to agree with Sandra on this one. Although the kiss certainly qualifies as romantic kiss on the technical side (opposed to kisses from your parents or good-bye kisses), it lacks the intention. What qualifies as a “first kiss” seems to depend rather on the psychological intention of the kissers than on its physical execution.

  • Sandra: My hero!
  • Sandra: This does not count as my first kiss!
  • Woo: If you come searching for me, I’m gonna be sleeping in the attic from now on.

    Hmm. HMM.

    Given the recent lashing DC Simpson took here, this is extremely familiar.

    Ha Ha! So awkward, I kinda feel sorry for both of them to have to wake up to such a horror. It does seem true that the “first kiss” is more what one determines than what actually happens.

    (first comment yay!)

    Haha! Having first-hand experience with the things that raccoons eat, and having been “kissed” by one who decided my mouth smelled appealing, I can tell you this would be a VERY rude and unpleasant way to wake up indeed XD

    Yet, it’s Woo who seems to be more grossed out. :D

    I like how Cloud’s dream manifestation gets a bandit mask in panel 2, that was clever.

    …and I am tempted to bring up Sandra as a closet furry, who else sleeps with their raccoons? XP

    A warning, just in case: A significant number of our readers are still children, so posting links to pornographic material is absolutely not okay and will result in a ban from writing more comments.

    I will also delete comments that are too explicit or stupid.

    not necessarily a closet furry. lots of folks have pets that sleep in their beds…one of the cats i had when i was younger, in fact, seemed to insist on it.
    btw…the first panel of the strip signified what she was dreaming in full rem, while the second was when she was slowly coming out of rem and into “rude awakening” mode.;)

    Haha, Sandra’s expression in Panel 3 is awesomesauce.

    *sigh* I wish I could even dream of that, but my mind must think it’s so absurd, unreal and unlikely to happen that it doesn’t even dream of it.

    Happy Thanksgiving, USA!

    Now that that’s out of the way, great strip! Particularly love how the cross on the armour becomes the doggie treats from Monday’s strip, and how Woo marches off wearing his blanked as a cape.

    How do you think Sandra’s dad will take now having a racoon in the attic; despite knowing he already had a racoon, period?

    well in the dream it counts as a first kiss, but in reallity it doesnt, however Was the kiss in the dream the same as in reallity? cause from some point of view you could say it was “the same Kiss” with its intentions contained in the dream and its ejecution in reality, both tied to the same subject, Sandra.
    Its the same question as If I kiss in the matrix that count as a first kiss?

    But more intersting, Can they arrest Sandra for a Raccon molesting crime?

    As long as she’s not going to attempt to spit in the face of nature and clone a half-human half-raccoon boy it’s not that bad.

    I just found this comic tonight and sat and read every strip back to back til I caught up. Now I am sad to have run out of them, but I think it’s very cute. I often appreciate the visual extras.

    I’m thinking the treats made an appearance cause someone’s breath may have hinted at them . . .

    I love the dog biscuit cross on his tunic in the second frame. Are we to infer anything from that?

    I once woke up face to face with a raccoon. Definitely no kissing. I also don’t know who was more surprised.

    First pannel: An Hero with a cross on his armor (Paladin?)
    Looking at his hairstyle, it seems to be Cloud, isn’t it? oÔ

    Second pannel: Where does the ‘mask’ come from? And the cross is now a bunch of ‘Woo-Snacks’ XD

    I don’t think I’ve to explain the rest ^^

    I just have one question for you “Novil”:
    Why is Woo disgusted about what happend?
    He tried to flirt with Sandra in strip number 7 :P

    Unsurprisingly, I prefer regular fanart. But if your characters are popular enough, people will start to use them in any way they want to and it’s pointless to be upset about that as long as they don’t give the impression that it’s original art or the opinion of the creator.

    So glad to have this comments option. Reading through, I literally went…”What? Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! What?” *scrolled up* “Oh, good Heavens…”

    What a gigglefest of a strip. So, she was breaking out of the dream and mixing that with semi-reality warnings.

    I once had a waking dream like that…well…NOT like THAT-that. Simply was my alarm clock in the dream had grown a thousand controls and I couldn’t find the off switch. Real world had the alarm clock going off. That was it.

    NOT posting under my usual name for obvious reasons.

    Sadly, there IS S&W /34/…. I wasn’t looking for it, instead it just appeared in front of me while I was browsing some other board (oh the irony, but par for the course as far as the wild web goes … good job I *WASNT* “looking” at the time I suppose).

    Verdict: Wasn’t all so bad, really, at least compared to some of the horrors that arise out of that particular internet rule.

    Also I’ma thinking it’s maybe supposed to be Cloud in the first panel, but Sandy’s subconcious starts playing around when she’s gone and grabbed Woo in her sleep? :D

    All in all… this may be “a bit much”… but I still got a little laugh out of it, and wouldn’t ban it. Besides, too late now :D
